Tagged: , ,

“A top lieutenant to a Mexican Mafia member who controlled Hispanic street gangs across Orange County pleaded guilty today to federal charges, admitting that he conspired with others to violate federal racketeering laws.

Thirty-three year old Marco Diaz of Santa Ana, CA, became the 28th defendant indicted to be convicted of federal RICO charges. Diaz, one of two top assistants to Mexican Mafia member Peter Ojeda, helped Ojeda’s organization extort “taxes” from street gangs and ordered punishment to those who did not pay.”
